Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15th through October 15th. The theme this year is “Heritage, Diversity, Integrity and Honor: The Renewed Hope of America.” Here are some resources that you may find useful:

A web portal full of excellent resources has been set up by the Library of Congress and the National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and U.S. National Archives and Records Administration: http://hispanicheritagemonth.gov

Two free concerts by Agustin Lira & Alma and Quetzal, curated by the Alliance for California Traditional Arts and presented by the American Folklife Center of the Library of Congress and the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, will take place in Washington, D.C., on September 14th. The concerts will also be webcast by the presenting organizations and broadcast by Radio Bilingüe–the National Spanish-language radio network.
